Breastfeeding involves feeding an infant breast milk directly from the female breast. It provides crucial nutrition for infant development. The anatomy of the breast produces milk through the let-down reflex response to infant suckling. This causes hormones to be released which trigger milk production and ejection from the breast. Breast milk contains proteins, fats, vitamins, carbohydrates and other components that support infant growth and immunity. Breastfeeding benefits both mother and infant's health and development.
Breast feeding is one of the most important gift, support, bond, attachment provided between the Mother and the baby even after the delivery of the baby to maintain the normal physiology of the mother, baby, family, society and the nation. some of the aspects of breast feeding especially the importance of proper feeding techniques to initiate, sustain and make the breast feeding successful is mentioned here.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

1. Breastfeeding
1. 1. BREAST FEEDING
2. 2. DEFINITION OF BREASTFEEDINGBreastfeeding is the feeding of an infant oryoung child
with breast milk directly fromfemale human breasts (i.e., via lactation) notfrom a baby bottle
or other container.

cellsNipple:18-20 basementduct Enlargement: membrane lumen
4. 4. CON’T…• Nipple and aerola enlarge and darken during pregnancy.• Small bump on
aerola called Montgomery gland. montgomery gland:• To soften the nipple (prepare the
nipple for breastfeed)
5. 5. The milk ejection reflexThe Prolactin Reflex1. (Long arrow) Nerve impulses from sucking
go to brain2. (Short arrow) The pituitary gland releases prolactin into theblood3. (Breast) This
causes the alveolar cells to secrete milk andswells the alveoliThe Milk Ejection Reflex1.
(Long arrow) Nerve impulses from sucking go to the brain2. (Short arow) The pituitary gland
releases oxytocin into thebloodstream3. (Breast) This causes muscles around the alveoli in
thebreast to squeez milk to the nipple
6. 6. HOW BREAST MILK IS PRODUCED• The let-down reflex• How body responds to baby’s
suckling: Infant suckling stimulates the nerve endings in the nipple and areola, which signal
the pituitary gland in the brain to release two hormones, prolactin and oxytocin. How Breast
Responds to Baby’s Suckling:• Prolactin causes alveoli to take nutrients (proteins, sugars)
from blood supply and turn them into breast milk.• Oxytocin causes the cells around the
alveoli to contract and eject milk down the milk ducts. This passing of the milk down the
ducts is called the “let-down” (milk ejection) reflex.
7. 7. CON’T…• Let-down is experienced in numerous ways including: – Infant begins to actively
suck and swallow. – Milk may drip from the opposite breast. – Mother may feel a tingling or a
full sensation (after the first week of nursing) in breasts or uterine cramping. – May feel
thirsty.
8. 8. 10 Steps to Successful Breastfeeding1. Have a written breastfeeding policy that is
routinely communicated to all health care staff.2. Train all health care staff in skills necessary
to implement this policy.3. Inform all pregnant women about the benefits and management of
breastfeeding.4. Help mothers initiate breastfeeding within half an hour of birth.5. Show
mothers how to breastfeed, and howto maintain lactation even if they should be separated
from their infants.
9. 9. CONT…6.Give newborn infants no food or drink other than breast milk, unless medically
indicated.7.Practise rooming-in - that is, allow mothers and infants to remain together - 24
hours a day.8.Encourage breastfeeding on demand.9.Give no artificial teats or pacifiers (also
called dummies or soothers) to breastfeeding infants.10.Foster the establishment of
breastfeeding support groups and refer mothers to them on discharge from the hospital or
clinic.
10. 10. BREAST MILK CONTENTSProteinsHuman milk contains two types of proteins: whey
andcasein. Approximately 60% is whey, while 40% is casein.• Lactoferrin inhibits the growth
of iron-dependent bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.• Secretory IgA also works to protect
the infant from viruses and bacteria, specifically those that the baby, mom, and family are
exposed to. It also helps to protect against E. Coli and possibly allergies. Other
immunoglobulins, including IgG and IgM, in breast milk also help protect against bacterial
and viral infections.
11. 11. BREAST MILK CONTENTS• Lysozyme is an enzyme that protects the infant against E.
Coli and Salmonella. It also promotes the growth of healthy intestinal flora and has anti-
inflammatory functions.• Bifidus factor supports the growth of lactobacillus that protects the
baby against harmful bacteria by creating an acidic environment where it cannot survive.
2. 12. 12. CONT’Fats• It is necessary for brain development, absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and
is a primary calorie source.• Long chain fatty acids are needed for brain, retina, and nervous
system development. They are deposited in the brain during the last trimester of pregnancy
and are also found in breast milk.
13. 13. CONT’Vitamins• The amount and types of vitamins in breast milk is directly related to the
mother’s vitamin intake. Fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamins A, D, E, and K, are all vital
to the infant’s health. Water-soluble vitamins such as vitamin C, riboflavin, niacin, and
panthothenic acid are also essential.Carbohydrates• Lactose is the primary carbohydrate
found in human milk.. Lactose helps to decrease the amount of unhealthy bacteria in the
stomach, which improves the absorption of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. It helps to
fight disease and promotes the growth of healthy bacteria in the stomach.
14. 14. BENEFITS OF BREASTFEEDING TO MOTHER1. This promotes mother and child
bonding.2. It prevens uterine bleeding in the mother after delivery.3. This is a natural form of
Family Planning.4. This reduces the risks of breast and ovarian cancer in the mother.5. This
saves time and precious expenses need not be used for buying milk powder and health care.
15. 15. BENEFITS BREASTFEEDING FOR BABY1. This provides the best possible nutrion to
the young child.2. It reduces the incidence of coughs and colds,ear
infections,bronchitis,pneumonia,meningitis and diarrhoea through its protective factors.3. It
protects the child from colic,asthma,eczema, nose and food allergies.4. It is essential for the
optimal physical,emotional and mental development of the child.Breastfed child are also
smarter.
16. 16. HOW LONG TO BREASTFEED• Newborns can nurse for 5 to 10 minute per breast;
every 2 to 3 hours. This comes to about 10 to 12 feedings per day. In the beginning, there is
only colostrum, and there’s not very much of it, so be ready to feed often but for short
durations.• One month or more: as baby gets older, his stomach will get larger. He will nurse
less frequently but for a longer duration at each feeding session. For example, he may nurse
20 to 40 minute per breast every 3 to 4 hours.• By 6 months, Baby may breastfeed for 20 to
40 minutes per breast; 3 to 5 times per day.
17. 17. CONTRAINDICATION TO BREASTFEEDING Active /untreated TB Mom takes
radioactive compound(cancer for chemo) Mom take illegal drug HIV infection
18. 18. THE PROPER WAY TO BREASTFEED• Stimulate the baby mouth to open by touching
the nipple.• Let the baby open the mouth wider.• Bring the baby near to the breast• Latch the
baby to the breast
19. 19. PROPER LATCH-ON1. Baby open the mouth wider.2. The chin touching the breast3.
The chick looked flatulent.4. The lip are flanged out.5. The breast looked full and round6.
Can hear the sound suck and swallow7. The nipple looked long and round after breastfeed.
20. 20. DISLATCH BABY AFTER BREASTFEEDING• Used little finger press on the gum to
open the baby mouth to dislatch from the nipple
21. 21. POSITIONING OFBREASTFEEDING
22. 22. Side lying position
23. 23. Football hold position
24. 24. Cradle hold position
25. 25. Cross cradle hold position
26. 26. Saddle Hold
27. 27. Twin Football Hold
28. 28. SIGNS THAT THE BABY IS GETTING ENOUGH BREAST MILK1. He is contented for 1-
2 hours after a feed2. He passes clear dilute urine 5-6 times a day3. He passes bright yellow
watery stools 6-8 times a day4. He regains birth weight after 2weeks
29. 29. BREAST MILK SUPPLY CAN BE INCREASED BY:1. Frequent feeds day and night2.
Allowing unlimited breastfeeding to satisfy baby’s suckling needs3. Mother to eat and drink
sufficient quantities to satisfy baby’s suckling her hunger and thirst4. Cultural foods like
ginger and rice wine are compatible with breastfeeding.
3. 30. 30. BREAST MILK STORAGE/THAWING: Unless being used immediately, refrigerate it
within 1 hour. Thaw/warm the milk in container of lukewarm water or running water. Once
milk is thawed, it should be used within 24 hours. Once milk is warmed and not used for the
feeding, it should be discarded.
